About Us
Our Mission
Until recently, imagination was a requirement for children to have fun. This is no longer the case. Unlike decades past, entertainment is handed to today's kids on a silver platter through television, video games, internet, and pre-made games. Today's generation is all too often relying on other people's imaginations to keep them from getting bored. In addition, the modern classroom has an increased focus on " fact" rather than creative ventures.
KidMagine's goal is to rekindle a childhood facination with the imaginary through the arts and literature. By providing a safe place for kids to show off their work, we hope to encourage kids to think outside the box and make their own fun.
-- Our History
KidMagine editor Jason McDonald had grown tired of the lack of meaningful children's websites. Having recently shut down a small back-door site showcasing his own work, McDonald decided to found KidMagine as a place for kids and teens of all ages to post their work.
Spring of 2005 brought another expansion to the website, when Jason became involved in a prank war with some online friends, the result being three original web games titled " Remmie and the Lab Rats" . Upon completion of the third game, Jason started Brainiac Media, Ltd.
Also in 2005, Jason McDonald signed Aussie pal Bek Hunter on as KidMagine's co-editor, and in 2007, invited good friend and fellow dragon-lover Jordyn Jensen to join the team. Over 2007 and 2008, the three expanded KidMagine's staff further.
Finally, in early 2009, Jason McDonald started KidMagine's own forum, CrossPen, as a place for for creative teens to hang out.
Through four overhauls, a name change, and many additions, KidMagine has only improved over time. We hope you like what we've come up with.
